Renovation Study
The Cleveland Heights-University
Heights Board of Education last night hired
Richard Fleischman & Associates, Architects, to evaluate the renovation needs of
the system's schools and to prepare an up-
to-date price list.
Board President Jonathan L. Collens
said that, depending on the outcome of
Fleiscsman's study, the board would announce in July any plans to place a capital
improvements levy on the November ballot.
The board authorized an application to
the state for matching funds to convert a
building near the high school into vocational education classrooms. The building formerly housed a car dealership.
Income Tax Dollars at Work
The new Ohio income tax money is
being allocated. For most of Cuyahoga
County's school districts, this is good news.
While several of the county's 32 school
districts will be unhappy with new state
school foundation grants, most should be
very-pleased.
"%
flie new grants will start in June under
the new foundation law, passed last December in conjunction with the income tax.
A new Governmental Research Institute report shows an over-all higher support level of 41.8% for Cuyahoga County's
districts in the coming payment period.
Twenty-three districts will get more money. Five will receive less, three the same
amount they got last period and one, Cuyahoga Heights, no foundation money.
The state's nine largest school districts,
including Cleveland and Parma, all receive
substantial increases. The percentage for
Cleveland is 57.2, for Parma 46.8.
Altogether, $12,471,500 more than last
year's amount will be coming to Cuyahoga
County's districts.
It is gratifying to see such swift aid
from the income tax for the economically
pressed school districts. This is just one
reason why the tax should not be repealed.
